It's a really, really good idea and I hope it comes into widespread use
eventually. I just have one comment really: IMHO this should definitely be
LGPL not GPL. I don't think there's any reason to exclude non-GPL clients
from linking to the library, and I think that doing so would ultimately have
adverse effects.
LGPL would still protect your code in that any alterations to ladcca itself
would still have to be released under LGPL - it just means that if commercial
companies (or people with inclinations toward non-GPL open source licences)
were ever to start taking an interest in linux audio, their apps would be
able to link to it, and thus interact seamlessly with the pre-existing Free
ones.
